If you set the stageSize property on the Learning Object, you can then
use Stage.width and Stage.height properties to position your objects. If
you have a button that you know is 80 pixels wide, you could position it
5 pixels in from the right edge by setting the button's x property to
Stage.width-85. Then it would be 5 pixels in from the right edge no
matter what size the stage is set to. If you aren't sure what the final
dimensions of your course is going to be, you might consider using this
type of relative positioning.

I removed the settings from the interface icon, as they we re
duplicated by the settings on the LO icon. I need to re-visit the help
file at some point.
Click the about box - it will disappear.

Sorry to be a pain Julian. In the 'getting started'
manual you show the interface icon being used to set measurements for
the frame but when I go to my file I have the name, title and visuals
fields but nothing in the drop down menu to add height, width etc. Do I
have to make a new swf and import that for it to work and if so does
this have to happen in Adobe Flash rather than Xerte? I went to the
help file and could not find more information so many apologies again.
By the way the version 1.9 about screen does not seem to
exit when you go to the help menu to check what version you have. I had
to close the program.
Best wishes E.A.

You can't do it I'm afraid. You'll need to re-position
the items to the new layout,
Julian

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Changing the frame size.
I am so sorry to bother folks this week but I
have been asked to change the frame size on some learning objects I have
made to 700 pixels wide. I am wondering how to do this without the
buttons being chopped off at the side and losing some of the content.
It seems just crop item when you use the dimension feature rather than
Just reduce the size generally. Does this need to be done with script
in a web page?
Happy Christmas and New Year and many thanks.

Subject: [Xerte] Making changes to the
html template
Julian,
I've been trying to modify the html
template (C:\Program Files\Xerte\publish\html\rloObject.html) that
creates the launching page. I've added style="margin:0" to the <body>
tag, and I wonder if a future update will overwrite that file? By adding
the margin parameter, the web page is sized just right, with no margins
(they end up white, which doesn't match the background color of the
Learning Object).
Maybe everyone would be interested in
making <body style="margin:0"> the default?
